title = "Particle Swarm Optimization Configures the Route Minimization Algorithm",
abstract = "Solving rich vehicle routing problems is an important topic due to their numerous practical applications. Although there exist a plethora of (meta)heuristics to tackle this task, they are often heavily parameterized, and improperly tuned hyper-parameters adversely affect their performance. We exploit particle swarm optimization to select the pivotal hyper-parameters of a route minimization algorithm applied to the pickup and delivery problem with time windows. The experiments, performed on benchmark and real-life data, show that our approach automatically determines high-quality hyper-parameters of the underlying algorithm that improve its abilities and accelerate the convergence.",
